Car seat covers can benefit anyone who owns a car, but perhaps no one experiences the very tangible, very visible perks of protecting their vehicle’s upholstery quite like the people who work in the trades.

Tradespeople - or 'tradies' - take their work with them wherever they go - and they’re usually always on the go. If you’re a tradie, you know exactly what we mean. Your vehicle can often seem like a second home, and because you spend so much time in your vehicle - and because you bring the dirt, dust, grease and grime accumulated on the job into your ride - you need car seat covers that can offer uncompromising and unmovable protection. This means you need custom car seat covers made from the most durable materials.

Why get customised car seat covers?

Generic car seat covers are not made for your vehicle. They’re made to fit a range of vehicles, and as such, they won’t really suit your seats. From a visual standpoint, this means your seats will look sloppy and baggy if the covers are too big. If the covers are too small, they will be pulled and strained, exposing patches of your vehicle’s underlying upholstery.

From a functional perspective, these poorly suited car seat covers won’t actually properly protect your vehicle’s upholstery. The sun and heat can still fade and crack your seats, and dirt, dust, salt, sand, grease, grime and water can still irreparably sully your upholstery. Considering one of the biggest benefits of using car seat covers is their ability to preserve the life of your seats and protect your vehicle's resale value, using a shoddy, ill-fitting cover will defeat the purpose.

The Best Types of Car Seat Covers for Tradies

Car seat covers come in a range of both fashionable and functional materials, but as a tradie, you want to ensure you don't compromise on the function for style. The best types of car seat covers for tradies are durable and water-resistant. After all, if you get covered the rain, mud and soot, so will your vehicle’s interior. So protect it.

Here are your two best options:

Canvas. Heavy-duty canvas car seats are made for tradies who expect as much from their vehicles as they do from themselves. Rip, tear and water-resistant, custom canvas car seats will fit your seats like a glove, offering superior no-nonsense protection.

Neoprene. Here's a sleek seat cover option that's made to take a beating, and still look great. Neoprene is the same material that's used for wet suits, so it's a particularly great pick if your job sees you soaked to the bone on occasion - or regularly. (Or if you are prone to spilling your coffee or soda.) Liquid is repelled instantly, so it doesn’t have a chance to soak in and stain.

Neoprene is also blessed with heat resistant qualities, so neoprene covers deflect more heat than your average upholstery. This is means a vehicle that's been left in the sun all day won't feel as warm when you get in. And, since neoprene is extremely durable, it won't fade due to prolonged sun exposure.
